sooooo.....sleepy

Hi Navy, I get tired but not really sleepy. My sister does though, and she has serious thyroid problems. But I bet
you've had that checked!!

I had a terrible day yesterday.. no energy at all, but today is better. sometimes it seems there is no logical pattern to my good vs. bad days!

That's funny. I can't sleep if I am taking high doses of pred either.

Have you considered being assessed for a sleep disorder? My husband began falling asleep anytime he sat down. That finally got him to tell the doctor about my 5 years of complaining about his snoring....and that he would stop breathing. He had a pretty severe sleep apnea. I feel that it contributed to his early death [age 58].

This was me this morning, but I now the reasons. Worked late, got home late. Then a thunderstorm inspired Canine type Insomnia!

I am figuring between the heart problems, low blood counts, and hypothyroidism that is the issue, but you right Ides I am getting a sleep study done in May.

I hear ya on the "nap" thing!! I am only 26 and people laugh at me because I have naps... they are very much needed to function for the rest of the day/week !!

A lot of times, I don't necessarily feel sleepy...just tired. Yesterday, I felt like lead. I didn't have any energy at all. Today's a bit better, but I still feel tired. It's pretty much a perpetual state of being tired. I'm not a very solid sleeper, the slightest thing wakes me up. I also tend to think too much when I would rather be sleeping. All of this, plus stress from work, family worries, my health and meds, etc. probably all contribute to how I feel. I see my primary doc on Wednesday, and I'll be speaking with her about this (especially in relation to my taking Remicade).
